Part 1: Why Indiana Can Win<br>The teams will kick off their first-round series on Saturday evening in Chicago.<br>The 1st-seeded Bulls are of course heavy favorites over the 8th-seeded Pacers.<br>We will be breaking down the match-up in much more depth in the hours and<br>days to come — with most of the analysis pointing to all the reasons that<br>Indiana has no chance to win — but let’s kick things off on a positive vibe with<br>a few reasons that the Pacers actually could perhaps pull off one of the biggest<br>upsets in NBA history...CONTINUE READING PART ONE (http://www.eightpointsnineseconds.com/2011/04/pacers-vs-bulls-playoff-preview-part-1-why-indiana-can-win/)<br><br>
Part 2: The Stoplight Analysis<br>The first statistical deep dive we’re going take into the Pacers/Bulls series is<br>what is sometimes called a “Stoplight Analysis.” It’s a simple visual tool that<br>identifies the good (green), the average (yellow), and the bad (red). In this<br>instance, green will reflect a top ten ranking in a category, yellow for middle<br>ten, and red for bottom ten. The graphic above shows where both the Pacers<br>and the Bulls rank in key advanced statistical categories as of this past<br>weekend. What I’ve done...CONTINUE READING PART TWO (http://www.eightpointsnineseconds.com/2011/04/pacers-vs-bulls-playoff-preview-part-2-the-stoplight-analysis/)<br><br>
Part 3: Synergy Breakdowns<br>In the next part of our detailed analysis of the upcoming Pacers/Bulls 1st round<br>playoff series, we’re going to take a look at some Synergy breakdowns.<br>mySynergySports.com is a fantastic site that tracks a team’s results by play<br>types — isos, pick-and-rolls, post ups, etc. — and provides film on each of<br>these plays. It’s a great way to look at how a team approaches its offense, and<br>where a team is strong or weak at both ends of the floor. Once again, we’re<br>going to start at the...CONTINUE READING PART THREE (http://www.eightpointsnineseconds.com/2011/04/pacers-vs-bulls-playoff-preview-part-3-synergy-breakdowns/)<br><br>
Part 4: Beating the Bulls<br>As we continue our Playoff Preview, we will look at the Bulls’ losses. We’ll start<br>with overall trends and differences, then we’ll break down two specific Chicago<br>losses that are of interest to this series: March 28 at home to Philadelphia and,<br>of course, March 18 at Conseco to Indiana. The Chicago Bulls only finished the<br>season with only 20 losses, which ain’t a lot. There has been nothing in my first<br>two analyses (stoplight and Synergy) indicating that Chicago is anything other<br>than an excellent...

Part 5: Learning from Indy’s March 18 Win vs. the Bulls<br>The Bulls have only lost threes games since March started. One of those losses<br>came at the hands of the Pacers on March 18. Carlos Boozer didn’t play but, as<br>Tim has shown, these guys don’t get beaten very often so if we want to find<br>some lessons in how they can perhaps be defeated, we have to look somewhere.<br>So I re-watched that Pacers victory today to see what could be found and was<br>struck by a few areas that helped them succeed. Here are a few that the Pacers<br>should focus on...

Part 6: Match Ups Worth Watching<br>Basketball is a team game, and as a general rule, I believe that the unit is more<br>important than the individual match ups. However, the individual contests are the<br>contact points for the units. Each affects how the group – and the game – flows.<br>For that reason, it’s worth looking at the key head-to-head pairings. It’s on these<br>that that the success or failure of the whole can pivot. This one is going to be less<br>about detailed statistics...

Noah will guard Hibbert he is healthy now and is a great defender when healthy. I would much rather have Boozer out how can you say you are glad Boozer is playing he is a double double machine who does everything well on offense. If a 39 yr old washed up Thomas can lock down Hibbert then he has a lot of work to do.

They are the 1 seed and have one of the most marketable players in the NBA. Gonna have to earn respect from the media by beating them which is how it should be if your the 8th seed vs the 1 seed.

I wanted to make a thread for this, but todays game is also airing on ESPN 3D. I believe this will be the first ever 3D Pacers game.

pacer4ever

ESPN is incredibly bias towards the best teams.

They're barely talking about us.

There's 2 teams playing.

They usually respect both teams.

Yes like they should be. If it is a 1 seed vs an 8 seed they normaly dont talk about the 8seed unless they have a star and we dont have one. What are they gonna say about the pacers man Pacers have 37 win and werent even .500. Most of them proably think we shouldnt be in the playoffs it is all about ratings Bulls and Drose marketable Pacers are not.

I probably won't be posting much during the game since I really want to soak this one in.

SO I will say this:

Brother's & Sister's, we've been waiting a LONG time for this and we've been through some really frustrating and discouraging times.

But today we begin the journey towards being back where we belong; deep in the NBA playoffs. Whether we win or lose in this first round matchup, our boys are BACK and the future is very bright!

We may be the laughingstock-status underdog. I frankly don't give a crap. We *CAN* beat this team in a best of 7 series, I know they can. I just hope that THEY know it as well...

Enjoy this today, we've spent 5 long years earning the excitement and joy today and the coming games will bring to our glorious franchise.

Just look at it like this. Who would the ave joe from Texas want to here about. The top seed and other teams who have a legit shot at a title like La, Bos, Miami ect. or Danny grangers's Pacers who the ave fan has no clue who they are and when they look at the record they think they shouldnt be here. It isnt personal it is about just getting ratings.

Yes, it is like some people have never watched the playoffs before. The Warriors finnaly got respect after they beat the Mavs a few years back.

It's not as much that as I think alot aroudn here aren't accustomed to the pacers being the 8th seed, and even when we were we still had people like reggie and JO that were more mainstream and earned us more respect.

Most of these national audiences and even commentators haven't watched more than 1 or two pacers games all year, which statistically we probably lost. We can't expect to be handed props for that. We as fans have seen us at our best and know what we're capable of, but it's perfectly understandable for the larger audience to judge us based on results, whcih are the weakest in the playoffs.

Tyler really needs to start boxing out when a shot goes up. My god, just let Noah get an easy put back.

danny granger on the corner with nobody underneath and he shoots outside. why does he not drive. indiana ciould beat this chicago team if they would play right.

These guys believe that they can play with the Bulls. That in and of itself give us a chance.

Collison's 5 points counts for more than that (still amazing) Rose block and steal.

Why is Hibbert on Boozer?

04-16-2011, 01:27 PM

Boozer kinda sucks.

better than any1 on our team I would take 5 people who kind of suck if they are at Boozers level

CableKC

I like that we are going to Hibbert so often on the inside.

chicago drives and all granger does is shoot outside. i hate it when he shoots outside.

Hey ESPN, the PACERS are winning this game, how about you show some of their highlights before the commercial...

Trophy

04-16-2011, 01:29 PM

Danny has been terrible.

Thank God everyone else to stepping up big.

He's the only guy on the Pacers everyone thought was going to be the lone brightside for us.

Good to see us proving that wrong and guys like Roy and DC making names for themselves.

Foul on Smits

04-16-2011, 01:29 PM

Keep it up DC. Granger is no showing again.

yeah i agree. why dont he drive more? chicago all they are doing is getting inside. If we dont try and go inside more we will not win this game from the outside.

AesopRockOn

04-16-2011, 01:30 PM

No matter how much you prepare, it's very difficult to deal with getting the short end of the stick with the refs in the playoffs.

Phree Refill

04-16-2011, 01:30 PM

Danny is playing the most timid of anyone on our team. Deng is playing some lock down D though too

Powww

04-16-2011, 01:31 PM

Granger is scared. Put the ball on the floor man WOW

The Jon Barry laugh when Derrick Rose scores makes me want to punch him in the face.

Our team is looking good so far !! The only thing is Granger is looking a rookie out there !

I was just thinking the exact same thing. Pathetic.

graphic-er

04-16-2011, 01:31 PM

how is that not a foul or a no call on that last Rose drive. I mean he literally jumped through mcroberts who was just standing there. I swear. Derrick Rose is good, but its the refs that make him a superstar.

ilive4sports

04-16-2011, 01:32 PM

Granger may be doing **** on offense, but he is doing great on defense.

Foul on Smits

04-16-2011, 01:32 PM

DC is out playing Rose.right now. I hope he keeps it up.

Thoreau87

04-16-2011, 01:32 PM

Danny pulling a Joe Johnson right now. Can't say I'm shocked that he shoots long contested jumpers all season and he's doing it now in the playoffs. Coach em up Frank. We need our Captain locked in.

CableKC

04-16-2011, 01:33 PM

To be fair, the Bulls are really focusing on taking Granger out of the game.

AesopRockOn

04-16-2011, 01:33 PM

Danny needs to pass out of the double faster, great offense though. Passing has been on point so far.

vnzla81

04-16-2011, 01:33 PM

Pacers are playing good D so far.

Exactly, its nolt he just standing there, they are cheating off our PF to double granger any time he get near the ball.

When you lay a shoulder into a player that is foul.

One day, we will get a very solid Scoring PF that will make the Team pay for doing that.

Good follow by Danny. Let the game to you.

If taking Granger out of the game means 1 on 1 vs Deng on the perimeter then yeah I guess I was hard on him.

27pts in the 1st...if they are somehow consistent and reach 100pts, their chances of winning are pretty huge.
